Vello Wired Remote Switch
The Vello Wired Remote Switch is designed for use with cameras that have the Sony Alpha style connection. Instead of hitting your camera’s shutter release button for long exposures, use the Remote Switch. The switch locks for long exposures and ensures that you won’t accidentally blur your images with camera shake. To operate simply press halfway to autofocus, and press the rest of the way to trigger the shutter. Press and slide forward to lock the remote for long exposures.
